Today marks a remarkable convergence of two significant celebrations: INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY & MAHASHIVRATRI. As we honor women's achievements and advocate for gender equality, it's fascinating to reflect on the concept of Ardhanarishvara, where Lord Shiva is depicted as half-male (SHIV) and half-female (SHAKTI), symbolizing the inseparable union of masculine and feminine energies. In our modern world, this symbolism resonates deeply as we recognize and celebrate the power of women in every sphere of life. Just as Ardhanarishvara represents balance and harmony, let us embrace the strength and resilience of women, who continuously break barriers, challenge norms, and lead with compassion and wisdom. On this auspicious day, let's reaffirm our commitment to creating a world where every woman has the opportunity to thrive and contribute fully to society. Happy International Women's Day and Mahashivratri to all! #InternationalWomensDay #Mahashivratri #Ardhanarishvara #WomenEmpowerment
Every single woman needs to watch this today. Reshma Saujani puts this perfectly. Happy International Women's Day ❤️
